Summary
This document is page 12 of a legal filing (dated Sept 17, 2024) discussing the legal validity and scope of Jeffrey Epstein's Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA). It argues that the USAO-SDNY was not notified of, nor did it approve, the NPA created by the USAO-SDFL, and cites the Judiciary Act of 1789 to argue that one US Attorney's actions in a specific district do not bind other districts or the nation. It also notes that the Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division confirmed to the Office of Professional Responsibility that she had no role in the NPA.

The history of the Office of the United States Attorney is instructive
as to the scope of their actions and duties. The Judiciary Act of 1789
created the Office of the United States Attorney, along with the office
of the Attorney General. More specifically, the Judiciary Act provided
for the appointment, in each district, of a “person learned in the law to
act as attorney for the United States in such district, who shall be sworn
or affirmed to the faithful execution of his office, whose duty it shall
be to prosecute in such district all delinquents for crimes and offences,
cognizable under the authority of the United States, and all civil
actions in which the United States shall be concerned.” 16 The Judiciary
Act thus emphasized that U.S. Attorneys would enforce the law of the
United States but did not determine that the actions of one U.S.
Attorney could bind other districts, let alone the entire nation. In fact,
the phrase “in such district,” repeated twice, implies that the scope of
